“There goes more bugs on the chairs,” said Naomi Figueroa.

Bed bugs, roaches and exposed wiring, these are just some of the pictures Naomi Figueroa said she took inside the Seneca Avenue shelter where the city placed her and her two children Wednesday.

And she says this is video of her trying to open the apartment door. She said she was locked inside with her one-year-old son and five-year-old daughter after she closed the door.

“That’s not right. Nobody should have to live like that at all,” said Figueroa.

Figueroa said the city moved them into the shelter after a fire damaged the temporary apartment she was living in two days before.

“It was basically smoked out. I could take what I could’ve took and they placed me in this DHS shelter and it was just horrible. It was horrible I would’ve rather had slept in that other apartment that just got burnt then being here it was just horrible it’s disgusting,” said Figueroa.

Figueroa says the apartment was filthy, so she is now staying at Red Cross temporary housing. But because the city is providing her shelter, she says the Red Cross will cut her off at only two more days.  As we interviewed the young mom her daughter begged her not to go back.

“I told my mom I can’t go in the house because it’s dirty and you’ll be locked and you can’t get out,” said Figueroa’s daughter.

Figueroa says she’s at her wits end. She says all of her complaints have been ignored and that’s why she reached out to NY1 for help.

She says she wants the city to place her in a decent apartment and replace her couch and television that she claims the workers damaged while moving her into the new space.

“The caseworker told me today you either take what is upstairs or you go back to PATH. Path is where everybody who is trying to get into the shelter system go through first,” said Figueroa.

Figueroa said it would be great if the city helped her find permanent housing, but in the meantime, she should not have to live like this.
